French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

Ceuta is in Africa. The Moroccans have been returned but on X & elsewhere ReFuK is still spouting Russian destabilisation propaganda. Given one of their lot is in prison as a traitor for Russia you’d think they’d be careful about spreading Russia’s BS. Questions should be asked.
PLEASE SHARE THIS To the young person (longish dark hair, patterned waistcoat, chinos & DM boots) who left this scroll of papers on the Piccadilly Line train at South Kensington station at about 4.25pm today, I’ve handed it to the station staff at Hammersmith.
